"Louie" is for me one of the pinnacles in the American tv comedy spectrum. The reason for that is simple: its different.
Louis CK who is by all means a controversial figure, is a masterful comedian who uses the TV medium to translate the stand up routine into a visual form. Thereby he creates scenarios that feel extremely bizarre almost caricatural but staged in a way where it feels authentic and natural. And this is the big plus of the show, every episode feels different, fresh, new and you never know where its going. Louis CKs directing style is laid back and not showy, but he can still create incredible moments of tension, atmosphere and drama. His fundamental understanding of life and it's absolutely absurdity is so captivating to watch, that it almost feel therapeutical. Watching an episode of Louie is like getting your soul massaged and I can't thank him enough for that. Thank you for the laughs!
